On the Neko Case

On the Neko Case: We know Neko Case as a member of Canadian indie rock band the New Pornographers (although Case herself is American), but her solo work is and has always been spectacular. Poetic and haunting, rooted in the traditional but with a very contemporary bent, she’s a true artist and 2018’s Hell-On album is a gem. See for yourself at the Fonda. Nora O’Connor also performs.Case announced The Lung sub stack on 2o21, of which she said,“I’ve always been in love with nature. I have felt ‘outside’ of it for a long time though, which is wrong to me as I’m ‘in it’ more than a lot of people. I live in Vermont, a part known as “The Northeast Kingdom.” It’s a leftover name from some tourist campaign, but it sounds majestic, which this place really is! In my own personal world, I refer to the forest I live in as ‘The Lung.’ That name came quietly out of my feelings for the place, and it has no scientific basis whatsoever. It is affectionate shorthand. The Lung makes air, it cleans, it...

Star-studded ‘Into the Woods’ comes to S.F.’s Curran Theatre

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:47:38 GMT

There’s never a bad time to go “Into the Woods.”With catchy and intricate songs by Stephen Sondheim and a witty book by James Lapine, the 1987 musical is a magically funny, melancholy and touching mashup of beloved fairy tales, exploring what happens after “happily ever after.”But the production visiting San Francisco’s Curran Theater for a six-day run is something truly special, featuring the most of the actual cast of last year’s acclaimed Broadway revival, including at least nine members of the opening night cast such as Gavin Creel as Cinderella’s Prince and the Big Bad Wolf, Cole Thompson as Jack and David Patrick Kelly as the Narrator.“We have 95 percent of our Broadway company on the road,” marvels Montego Glover, who plays the Witch. “It is extraordinarily rare. It truly, honestly, never happens. We did a little research, and I think maybe the last time was in the ’30s, that a Broadway company pulled up stakes and moved with the show. These are limited engagements. We ...

Hackers threaten to leak stolen Reddit data if company doesn’t pay $4.5 million and change controversial pricing policy

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:47:38 GMT

By Jennifer Korn | CNNReddit’s month may be going from bad to worse.Hackers from the BlackCat ransomware gang, also known as ALPHV, are threatening to leak 80 gigabytes of confidential data from Reddit that they claim to have stolen during a February breach, according to a post from the group on the dark web, which was reviewed by CNN and an independent cybersecurity expert.In their post, the hackers claim they first demanded a $4.5 million payout “for the deletion of the data and our silence” in April. After receiving no response, the group said it followed up on Friday with an additional demand: Reddit should withdraw a controversial new pricing policy that has sparked a protest from some of the platform’s most influential users.Reddit CTO Chris Slowe previously posted about a security incident that took place in early February. In the post, Slowe said the company’s “systems were hacked as a result of a sophisticated and highly-targeted phishing attack,” with hackers accessing “so...

With fur out of fashion, PETA sets its sights on wool, leather and down

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:47:38 GMT

By Sarah Kent | CNNWhen Ingrid Newkirk co-founded People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in 1980, fur was a status symbol. “Everyone aspired to have a fur,” Newkirk recalled. “But that’s all gone now.”PETA has played a significant role in that shift, blending aggressive protest tactics — including throwing red paint — with media campaigns and corporate engagement to drag the fashion industry away from its use of fur.Calvin Klein was one of the earliest major fashion brands to go fur-free after PETA stormed its New York office in 1994. The same year, the group ran its famous ads featuring naked supermodels claiming they’d rather go naked than wear fur. Social media and a broader cultural conversation around ethical consumption helped all but complete the job: Gucci declared fur passé in 2017, and its parent company Kering went fully fur-free in 2021, joining a roster of luxury brands from Chanel to Versace.Fur still pops up on runways now and then, but it’s now illegal t...
